B-class review

This article is currently at start/C class, but could be improved to B-class if it had more (inline) citations.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 00:17, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Result

@Olek Novy Regarding the result, the most reasonable conclusion to make from "highly favourable" is that it was a victory. I don't see how you don't agree but I think I have other sources explicitly stating victory for Sweden Gvssy (talk) 21:19, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I also disagree with the result of this article, because of the inconsistency, as some call it a Polish-Lithuanian victory and some call it a Swedish one, I propose the following result
result : Truce of Altmark Birczenin (talk) 11:36, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What reputable sources call this a Polish–Lithuanian Victory? Gvssy (talk) 11:51, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
what? you even read what I wrote, because I'm not talking about any source here, just the opinion of the majority. Birczenin (talk) 11:54, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The opinion of regular people has no merit to be included on a Wikipedia article, if it is not in a reputable source. That would be considered Original research (If I'm not mistaken) which is also against Wikipedia guidelines. Gvssy (talk) 11:55, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Opinion? Your statement is poorly phrased, I pointed out to you that the result should be a truce in the altmark, not trying to prove whether it is a Swedish or a Polish-Lithuanian victory, in short neither this result nor that one is appropriate. Birczenin (talk) 12:25, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'll point out that you said that was apparently the opinion of the majority. I will inform you that personal opinion, especially on Wikipedia, is not prioritized over what sources say. As is demonstrated in the beginning of the article, a scholarly consensus is that the war ended in a Swedish victory. This result is by no means "innapropriate" what are you talking about?

Of course you shouldn't be guided, but don't exaggerate, even though the article doesn't say who exactly won or suppose that after reading a wiki article you see that a side won but the source says otherwise, you can't take this into account, historians are there to show history, not everyone will agree with the outcome of a Swedish victory. Because Sweden did not exactly win Birczenin (talk) 12:56, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
